Solar Panel Angle Adjustment
The SolarBee technology includes tilting PV
modules to allow for optimal solar collection for
different geographical regions and changing sun
position during the seasons.
Use 35 Degree (Flattest Position):
Where - Locations south of 40 degree latitude.
When - During fall, summer, and spring or year
round if no adjustment is preferred.
OR
Where - Locations north of 40 degree latitude.
When - During summer only.
Use 45 Degree (Middle Position):
Where - Locations north of 40 degree latitude
(Especially Great Lakes Region and Canada).
When - During spring and fall or year round if no
adjustment is preferred.
OR
Where - Locations south of 40 degree latitude.
When - During winter
Use 55 Degree (Steepest Position):
Where - Locations north of 40 degree latitude.
When - During winter season or periods of
abundant snow (The steep angle will help prevent
snow from building up on the panels).
TOOLS RECOMMENDED:
Two 1/2" or 13 mm wrenches
STEP 1:
Loosen 2 bolts on each end of the PV
module using 1/2" or 13 mm wrenches as shown
in the figure below.
Bolts
STEP 2:
Firmly grip the PV module and slide
it up or down the tracks until it is in the desired
position. For each of the three recommended
angle settings listed, there is a slot in the top
tracks at both ends that the top bolt will drop into.
STEP 3:
Once the PV module is in the desired
position, tighten all four bolts.
STEP 4:
Repeat steps 1 through 3 for other two
solar panels
